[rebel-builders] tank rivets--mandrels breaking
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:37 pm
You are living right Ken. I'm sure there is a sweet spot that I simply
haven't found with tank rivets. I don't recall ever having a standard
Avdel/Avex rivet stem breaking prematurely. I sure seem to be at maybe 5%
or 10% rate of having tank rivet mandrels break on me though.

Might or might not mean anything but I use a regulator to drop air
pressure to minimum and have never had a 6402 or 6403 mandrel break off.
0 out of 22,000 is good odds. I have had a couple of the longer 6406
ones break off.

months.Thanks Ray. I've never had a problem with mandrels breaking off ---
yet.... The broken off ones were done by others and I suspect,
because of the awkwardness of the typical location that it might be side
loading on the puller. A straight pull doesn't seem to generate that
problem.

The tank rivets are not AVEX as AVEX doesn't make a closed rivet and I am
tonot sure who makes them for Mattic. I also have had problems with the
mandrels breaking. I think the main problem for this is that the hole is
thetight. I found if you pull them manually they don't break as much, but
best way would probably re drill the hole if the rivit is hard to get in.
